Hey Ira, re: <<byproduct of these threads is determining the motives of these faceless posters.>>

Guess I know your motives. Perhaps it has something to do with sending emails disparaging others just to make yourself feel a little better?

To quote Buzz Lightyear, from my favorite movie of all time, "You are a pathetic little man"

Get a life. The stock hasn't "temporarily dropped". It has tanked 50% in less than 2 months. Is that like being "a little pregnant"?

In respect to my "option plays", the value of my stock has depreciated much more than my options. So, once again you are wrong here. I can live with losing some money on this month's options, as I've made plenty more in prior months. But, to see a 35% drop in the value of my "long term holdings" in one day is unacceptable.

As for your question "why don't you just sell the stock?", I will. However, I feel that there are plenty of suckers like you still out there that will bid this stock up some more yet. Once you hit my sell price, then I will be out.

I predict that the stock will run up to $40 after I sell it sometime this year. I also predict that it will drop back down to $8 exactly one year from now. And, lastly, I predict that suckers like you will watch it go up and then watch it come back down to $8 and then praise KE for the fine effort he is making once again.

You see, Ira, it's suckers like you that watched it fall from $27 2 years ago to $10 now that the Street loves. Sheila hasn't lost perspective. She's just asking the questions that any informed investor should ask.

Maybe you should stop trying to trash everyone and learn from others like Sheila and Rocky. Maybe then you'd get some perspective.

Certifiably yours . . .
